from_o hence_o in_o the_o first_o part_n the_o break_n of_o the_o bread_n come_v to_o be_v consider_v which_o be_v so_o plain_o set_v forth_o as_o a_o work_n and_o have_v relation_n to_o the_o

be_v break_v and_o so_o break_v be_v not_o here_o take_v proper_o but_o by_o a_o similitude_n for_o weep_v torment_a etc._n etc._n as_o he_o be_v pierce_v crucify_a and_o on_o the_o cross_n make_v a_o

and_o with_o his_o stripe_n we_o be_v heal_v esay_n 57.5_o so_o then_o this_o be_v to_o be_v do_v plain_o in_o the_o sight_n of_o all_o and_o all_o aught_o to_o give_v diligent_a heed_n and_o

in_o paul_n &_o some_o other_o evangelist_n do_v differ_v yet_o this_o sense_n come_v to_o one_o and_o the_o holy_a ghost_n do_v give_v we_o liberty_n to_o take_v which_o we_o will_v for_o

to_o one_o both_o because_o that_o be_v the_o fit_a to_o note_v out_o the_o fellowship_n and_o communion_n of_o the_o church_n in_o this_o work_n the_o person_n of_o christ_n by_o the_o minister_n bid_v all_o his_o guest_n with_o one_o love_n as_o from_o he_o to_o be_v merry_a and_o eat_v with_o faith_n one_o spiritual_a meat_n together_o which_o also_o do_v plain_o confute_v the_o papist_n

that_o they_o bless_v not_o the_o bread_n as_o the_o cup._n 1._o cor._n 10_o 26._o because_o paul_n say_v the_o bread_n which_o we_o break_v and_o name_v not_o blessing_n this_o be_v therefore_o but_o a_o wicked_a shift_n to_o displace_v the_o plain_a ordinance_n of_o christ_n do_v this_o in_o remembrance_n of_o i_o vers_fw-la 25._o they_o do_v contrary_a to_o the_o custom_n of_o the_o church_n when_o as_o they_o receive_v from_o the_o apostle_n that_o christ_n do_v so_o so_o they_o practise_v it_o as_o be_v plain_a by_o this_o chap_a 25.26_o and_o again_o they_o destroy_v the_o doctrine_n

to_o give_v and_o to_o apply_v be_v plain_a because_o in_o those_o of_o discretion_n in_o baptism_n faith_n to_o apprehend_v christ_n and_o all_o his_o benefit_n be_v first_o require_v as_o appear_v
